And Roberts said "on it".
But Biden couldn't pay off student loans because...?
Because it might actually improve someone’s life, and not just make insanely wealthy people more insanely wealthy.
Because he's part of the reason they're not dischargeable in bankruptcy in the first place.
Because he’s not progressive and came up with an insanely complex idea that failed rather than exercise the power given to the president by Congress to forgive any and all student loans at will.
No, he did try to do that. He just set the payment point super far in the future so the Supreme Court had plenty of time to block it. Because they're also just conservative tools who will rule based on their personal political preferences rather than the law.
He didn't do it well, but Biden (presumably after considerable lobbying by progressives) did at least try to exercise that power that was given to him explicitly by law. The SC just made up a new doctrine to say "the text of the law doesn't matter if we feel like it".
Of course. Roberts has to do what his real employers (the ones paying the big bribes) want.
Roberts is a fucking fascist douche and an absolute disgrace to the U.S. and democracy.
Trump needs it to be complete before the 2028 election. That's his bunker and he will hole up there, forcing us to extract him.
I'd be OK with just putting concrete around the entrance/exits instead.
Like Chernobyl. I love it.
Imagine the smell when archaeologists excavate in a thousand years.
Or seal the entries/exits and grout the entire bunker.
Flip the switch from "Ballroom" to "Mausoleum".
That can be engraved in the building I heard
Sealing the air vents also helps.
Trump's never kept a project under budget, and now it's government contractors...
$3 billion. At least.
Heh heh ball-room
That no ballroom...
"For now" meaning until it's complete and therefore can't be stopped anymore.
Do you think it'll ever be complete?
The Supreme Court is "allowing" it? They've been paid off or blackmailed into doing a degenerates bidding. "Allow" indeed.
I hope to see most of this "court" on the gallows, live. They are traitors.
We should strongly consider letting die violently a few SCOTUS once the admin changes.
Hell, if Trump ordered it Roberts would sign off on it.
If it survives it will be as a museum for the victims. He'll probably have to reichstag it at some point though.
It needs to keep looking like this during the next presidential election
Yet they haven't even started on the 3-sided shack where Uncle Cletus whittles his toenails for $500 per photo. You just know it's Biden's fault.
